Nikon D80 10.2 megapixel SLR
The replacement for the very successful D70/D70s has finally been announced today. The D80 features a new high resolution 10.2 megapixel CCD, improved 11 area auto-focus, a larger and brighter 2.5 inch LCD display, powerful new image processing and metering, configurable auto and high ISO settings and other improvements, many of which are passed down from the pro level cameras.
They've also switched from Compact Flash to SD/SD-HC memory card support with the new camera, leaving Compact Flash for the pros. The D80 is also a bit smaller and lighter than the D70s.
Overall it looks like a great evolution of the D70s and is no doubt set to be as popular. Digital Photograhy review have a typically excellent, detailed preview of the camera (that they've been using for a couple of weeks already, lucky them).
Looks like Canon have some catching up to do, I wonder how long it will be before we see a new version of the 350D?
